    I want to make it ***VERY CLEAR*** that any time I say "pound of air" in this video, I'm referring to the mass flow rate of "X" pounds of air per minute. NOT "X" psi of boost.
    Also, I messed up a bit on the time stamps, here are accurate links:

      It's about as fast as a 700hp Hellcat in terms of roll-on acceleration. But it feels like about 3000hp in a car made of tin foil and bubble gum

Your videos are more useful than my engineering degree when it comes to a lot of this stuff. Super interested in an rpm-variable boost video.

Insane information, both in video and on your website. I didn't have a Miata for 2-3 years for personal reasons and I don't think I would've bought one again just now without your channel.

    Great video man. Covered a lot of ground here in an easy to digest way. Really demonstrated how beastly the EFR is too. Love the Southern Hooning shirt. That's a throwback. As for the over spin, I think it's that whole shop vac concept. It actually spins faster when there is a restriction. I forget the exact physics law, something something stall. You get dangerous overspeed when the car is under heavy load and a boost pipe suddenly blows though, I believe.

    Fantastic video. I’ve over spun a Turbo already running near its limit that then had a slight charge pipe boost leak. It’s to do with the engine load like you saw with the street vs dyno logging. Something else for you to test/prove!
